These wooden robins are a unique piece, and a great addition to any home - perhaps their symbolic nature as “the beacon to Spring” will help you get through those long winter nights (can you tell our company is based in Minnesota?)

Taking inspiration from the Eames House Bird, we set out to create our own avian sculpture. The handmade wood robins were a very unique piece when we first added them to the collection, not having had any animal figurines before them, but they’ve sparked the imagination of our designer, and you can look forward to more creatures in the future.

Handcrafted in Minneapolis.

MATERIALS
(01) Veneered Baltic birch
Our decor pieces are made using a beautiful high-end Baltic birch plywood from Columbia Forest Products®. Each of the 13 layers of the ply are solid wood, and a thick veneer in walnut wraps each face in rich tones. The Baltic birch is a sustainable product and will be very stable as the seasons change, unlike some solid wood products.

While many woodworkers conceal the edges of the plywood, we have made it our signature look to highlight the striped layers. Not only does this give a nod to the designers of the mid-century era, it makes every piece by Hossle Woodworks a work of art, and a unique, one-of-a-kind, creation.

(02) Finish

We finish our products with a mixture of pure tung oil, boiled linseed oil and wax. This means less harsh chemicals when we are doing the work, and a safer breathing experience for you. The end result is a durable, water-resistant matte finish that feels like a silky-smooth piece of wood.

Another benefit to the finish is that it allows for easy repair when scratches happen. Buff out the scratch with a piece of high-grit sandpaper and rub in some Howard Feed-N-Wax® and your piece is as good as new! less
